Nikola Dipanov 4a431f75a0 sriov-mech: Introduce a new VIF type for PF vnic type

We need to tell Nova to use a specific VIF type for full PF passthrough
(this is the recently added VNIC_DIRECT_PHYSICAL vnic type).

Make sure that when binding ports with this vnic type, we set the
appropriate vif type for Nova to be able to provision those ports
correctly.

Nova change that adds a vif driver for this vif type:

 features:
   - SriovNicSwitchMechanismDriver driver now exposes a new VIF type
     'hostdev_physical' for ports with vnic type 'direct-physical' (used for
     SR-IOV PF passthrough). This will enable Nova to provision PFs as Neutron
     ports.
